ASP.net WebAPI ignoring web.config? - angularjs

Question

I am setting up a web.config in wwwroot to redirect all requests to index.html for angularjs to handle. This excludes existing files and folders and anything from /api.
The problem is, it's not working that way. I simply get blank pages for anything where a file does not exist.
Here is my web.config:
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
<handlers>
<add name="httpPlatformHandler" path="*" verb="*" modules="httpPlatformHandler" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
</handlers>
<httpPlatform processPath="%DNX_PATH%" arguments="%DNX_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" startupTimeLimit="3600"/>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="IndexHomeRule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
<add input="{REQUEST_URI}" matchType="Pattern" pattern="^/api/" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I can't figure out any reason for it to still be trying to load the files instead of redirecting them to index.html
I am using .NET Core RC2 and I have static files and default files set to be used. I am using VS2015. I set the project up as a WebAPI from the beginning. Not empty.

You can use Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices:
app.UseMvc(options =>
{
options.MapRoute("Api",
template: "api/{controller}/{action?}/{*path}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home" });
options.MapSpaFallbackRoute("spa-fallback", new { controller = "Home", action = "Index" });
});
